Christianity was one of the major religions of Earth. It centres around the teachings of the religious figure Jesus Christ who was born in the year 1AD. The Doctor was apparently present at his birth (DW: Voyage of the Damned) and his death (DW: Planet of the Dead). These two events are responsible for the earth holidays of Christmas and Easter. Christianity is one of countless religions throughout the universe to have a devil figure inspired by the Beast. (DW: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit)
The Doctor met some early Christians while visiting Byzantium in 64. (PDA: Byzantium!)
